I do everything (find deal, negotiate, finance & manage).I'd pursue a tenant in common deed to make the 25/75 split.

Come up with the strategy you want to pursue (buy and hold, flipping, wholesaling, etc - personally I like the buy and hold model).

In my free time I enjoy working out/being physically active, spending time with my family, working on my home, and pursuing my real estate investing goals.I've been a member of BiggerPockets for a few months now.

I'm pursuing a degree in business management.

I work full time as a contractor but have been using every bit of free time I have digging into research from this website, as well as many others (including 123..Flip) to prepare myself to dive into the real estate investment arena.I recently purchased, renovated, and put my first home up for sale in Petworth, D.C. and, while my ROI potential is slim, I learned a ton from gutting the home and getting a feel for what I'm going to be dealing with in the area.I currently live downtown with my Uncle and, on top of pursuing several goals, am looking to find a good property within the city that I can fix up to live in/rent out the rest.My goals are:1.)

If you want to pursue renting out your home, definitely check out this free Ebook put out by BiggerPockets (in this case, @Brandon Turner!)

While I have an idea of what I want to pursue, I know there is still probably a million things I don't know.

I will definitely pursue that option.  

This might be an avenue you could pursue.

I have been interested in Real Estate Investing for quite some time with the idea of using it as a retirement plan, but have only recently made the decision to ultimately pursue it as a career.
